LONG BEACH RED, TOP DOWN, AND A 6.2 LITER V8 BEHIND YOUR SHOULDER
Push the button, let the power top fold itself away, and pull out onto Clearwater with the LT1 idling that lumpy small block idle that nothing else makes. Point it up the Old Inland Empire Highway. Somewhere past the last stoplight you drop it into paddle shift mode, and the 6.2 liter V8 and the eight speed do the thing that made grown adults put Corvette posters on their walls in the first place.
This is a 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 3LT convertible in Long Beach Red Metallic Tintcoat over black leather, rear wheel drive, showing 47,577 miles.
The build is what makes this one worth looking at closely. It is a 3LT, which is the top interior trim, and it stacks several packages on top of that. The Custom Leather Wrapped Interior Package puts leather on the surfaces most cars leave in plastic. The Sueded Microfiber Wrapped Interior Trim Package adds the suede treatment. The Memory Package. The Battery Protection Package. GT bucket seats that are heated and vented on both sides, with eight way power adjusters and power lumbar and bolster controls for driver and passenger.
The technology list is genuinely deep for a car of this generation. Head Up Display projected on the windshield. The Performance Data and Video Recorder, which is the factory system that records video of your drive with a data overlay of speed, gear, g-force and lap times, and it is the single coolest option on the car. Front Curb View Cameras, which every low nose Corvette owner learns to appreciate very quickly. Rear parking camera. Chevrolet MyLink with navigation, SiriusXM and the Bose Advanced 10 Speaker audio system. Remote start. Universal Home Remote. Auto dimming frameless inside mirror. Dual zone automatic climate control.
Mechanically it is the 6.2 liter V8 with the eight speed paddle shift automatic, a 2.41 limited slip rear axle, four wheel independent suspension, four wheel disc brakes, and staggered aluminum wheels measuring 18 by 8.5 inches in front and 19 by 10 inches in the rear. The power folding soft top has a glass rear window and a finished roof lining. Black molded splash guards front and rear.
Now the history, and this is the part that should close the deal. No accidents or damage reported to CARFAX. No structural damage. No airbag deployment. No total loss. No indication of an odometer rollback. CARFAX guarantees no salvage, junk, rebuilt, fire, flood, hail or lemon title brand. No open recalls reported to CARFAX, and you are welcome to verify the VIN yourself at recalls.gm.com.
Better still, this is a CARFAX Homegrown car. It was sold new and serviced right here at McCurley Chevrolet, and it stayed a Washington car its whole life as a personal vehicle. Sixteen service records back that up. The highlights include a coolant flush, a brake fluid flush, four new tires and an alignment at 34,224 miles, a full serpentine belt job with new belt, tensioner and tensioner pulley at 35,250 miles, a new battery at 38,145 miles, and an oil and filter change with new spark plugs and wipers at 41,641 miles.
Corvettes are usually either driven hard and neglected or parked and never sorted out. This one was actually maintained by the store that sold it.
Come drive it at Archibald's, 6902 W Clearwater Ave in Kennewick, or call 509-737-1199. Bring sunglasses. You are not going to want the top up.
A negotiable documentary service fee of $200.00 may apply to each purchase.
